About Us
Babyccino Kids London is one of four city guides which spawned from the original site, Babyccino Kids — an international lifestyle website written by several mums in different corners of the globe. Their city guides offer an in-depth look into their cities, offering up the best family-friendly restaurants, shops and activities. Traveling with kids doesn’t mean you have to give up your style, your desire for good food, or your hopes for an interesting holiday. Babyccino city guides allow you to travel in style with your kids! We hope you enjoy!
About the authors…
Courtney is an American-turned-Brit who was raised on a tulip farm north of Seattle. She now lives in London with her husband and three kids, aged 4 and younger — it’s busy in their home! Despite having lived in London for nearly 7 years, she still complains about the winters (a stint in sunny Los Angeles has spoiled them for life). But rainy days aside, she really loves living in London and can be found marching her family up to Kenwood House in Hampstead Heath nearly every weekend. Courtney is an unrelenting neat-freak who loves her dustbuster. She also loves dark chocolate, strong coffee, nice bedding, and flip-flops.
Mo is an English girl through and through, not only determined by her lineage (everyone is English except for her Grandfather who is Dutch) but also by her insane love of tea, scones and Marmite. She grew up in a farming village in the middle of England and studied up North in Liverpool, where she met and fell in love with her future husband — a nice Berlin boy. She has worked in film and fashion but the last 7 years she has worked in advertising. She married that Berlin boy on Bonfire Night in 2005 and he took her Dutch surname. They had a baby boy in 2007 and a baby girl in 2008 — phew! For more space and good schools they moved south of London 18 months ago. Mo is known as ‘arts and crafts Mo’ as she can’t resist a bit of paint, glue and sticky-back plastic. She adores vintage toys and children’s books and loves cooking but her husband is better at it (note – that is tough for her to admit). She tends to show up to things half an hour late with messy hair (the only way she likes it), a Nikon in one hand and a child in the other.
